INTJ

Introverted Intuition (Ni): To everyone around her, Cristina is a risk taker. They have scolded her before for thinking she can do it all and jumping into situations head on. What they don’t understand is that it isn’t a risk to her. She knows how it will happen, and she has confidence she’ll be able to do anything she’s set her mind too. When confronted about a “big surgical risk” her response is literally “There was no risk, I knew how to do the operation and I did it. Why is everyone freaking out?” Cristina is also very driven and has a high amount of self-confidence, she knows what she wants to be from the very beginning: A great surgeon. And, not surprisingly, she does just that. She has her vision for her life and doesn’t let anyone, Owens wishes or anything, like her dyslexia, stand in her way.

Extroverted Thinking (Te): Cristina Yang is all about getting things done at the highest level of excellence possible. When performing a procedure she runs through the steps almost robotically, leaving no room for error. She wants things perfect and accepts nothing less, a problem she runs into quickly with her relationships. Cristina always seems to find a guy too hung up on tradition and things she doesn’t want. When she was with Burke, she gave him control and almost lost herself. After he left, she was sad, yes, but also relived. She realized that in order to live her life happily, she had to be in control and do what she needed to do. 

Internal Feeling (Fi): Cristina is supposed to be heartless. She makes sassy, rude comments to those around her, can’t stand children, and is career obsessed. However, it becomes clear throughout the show that this heart surgeon is anything but heartless. Yes, she makes her decisions based first on rationality and logic, but underneath that beats a very warm heart. We see glimpses of it through her relationship with Owen and friendship with Meredith. The way she comforts them both and puts their needs before her own. Owen wants kids and she doesn’t, but she wants to be with him. Instead they break up and she agrees to this for him and his future. Not a lot of emotional conversations, but actions supported her inner morals and beliefs.

Introverted Intuition (Ni): Mona is always ten steps ahead of the game. She’s the only person who could see through Ali’s manipulation before she disappeared. She plans incredibly long term and in depth, coming up with the idea of A to torture Ali’s friends after she disappears. She sees potential in things and people, grooming up Hanna to become a better version of Ali, so they could be the new queen bees. She knows exactly what buttons to push to make people do what she needs them to do in order to make her plans succeed. Symbolism is very important to Mona, especially that of books.

Extroverted Thinking (Te): Mona has no difficulty making logical decisions in order to ensure that her plans succeed. Hanna found out her secret? Run her over with a car. She can be blunt, realistic about what’s really going on, and executes her plans almost flawlessly. She’s incredibly intelligent, having gotten accepted to 4 Ivy League schools early decision, and acquired the skills she’d need to keep up the A game, such as hacking, programming, and surveillance.

Introverted Feeling (Fi): Mona cares about the few people close to her, such as Mike and Hanna. She promises to always be friends with Hanna, and tells Mike she needs to disappear for a while for his own protection. She can go back and forth her loyalty at times, but she doesn’t want to see those whom she does love hurt. She hated Alison’s manipulation and the way she made her feel, and this resentment fueled all her plans.

Introverted Intuition (Ni): Amy had an extensive ideal vision for her life and when that vision didn’t happen; she couldn’t adjust. She felt like not only did Nick corrupt/destroy her vision she also saw his actions as symbolically killing her and was attracted to the idea of the punishment fitting the crime. She’s very attracted to symbolism; her original plan was to kill herself for the symbolism, she made scavenger hunts where she and Nick were meant to collect items that symbolized their love, devotion and knowledge of one another, she came back to Nick because she saw his successful manipulation as a symbol of the their compatibility, etc.

Extraverted Thinking (Te): She uses objective goals to achieve her plans: befriend idiot neighbor, collect pregnant woman’s urine, write a love story gone wrong and then burn it just enough, dye hair to change appearance, etc. She organizes these goals in her calendar. She measures Nick’s affections for her in his ability to achieve the tasks and goals she sets for him.

Introverted Feeling (Fi): She has powerful inner emotions that tie strongly into her ideal vision. They sometimes get the best of her — like when she spit in Greta’s drink for insulting the persona she created. She has oddly naive, idealized notions of romanticism like with the scavenger hunt. When others fail to live up to her ideals she feels strong internal rage that manifests in Te methodical actions like executing a plan to make Nick seem like a murderer and that one guy (I can’t remember his name) seem like a rapist. Though she uses the “Cool Girl” image to get what she wants (Ni-Te) she has nothing but disdain for the conforming nature of it. She’s very confident in her own worth telling Nick, “I’m it, baby.”

Extraverted Sensing (Se): She’s comfortable with the physicality needed to fake her death/disappearance and some later injuries.
